popular aircraft in our fleet for both
customers and employees,” he said.
“The 787 has the highest customer
satisfaction scores of any aircraft in our
fleet, and we get dozens of letters from
customers who loved flying the 787.”
Just as the 787-8 has attracted

will help differentiate Virgin Atlantic
from its competitors flying from the
U.K., as it will be the first in Europe to
fly the new model.
“We believe that our passengers will
really enjoy this improved passenger
experience,” he said, “and it will leave
them wanting to come back and fly on
it again and again.” n
